It's quite fun to read this back and forth, and far be it from me break in too much, but I have some questions for Elpizo.

Point invalid, moving on.

How do either of these invalidate his points? Just because previous games in the series had a feature or flaw does not take away the right to complain about it showing up in a more recent game. Maybe I missed a point you made, but it citing poor mechanics and storytelling from one game to say you can't complain when they pop up in another sounds ridiculous.
